Shooting at Elementary School in Connecticuit

Our society is sick and septic. these mass shootings are simply the visible pox on the surface. We've become a faithless self absorbed society which keeps producing these ahole 20 year olds who believe they have the right to kill because life didn't unfold the way they thought. I don't know what the answer is.

Sport Shooting. More ammo is sold to Sport Shooters than Hunters considering they shoot three times as much in a year.

Protection against Evil,, Oppression, and tiereny are the reason.......


Not necessarily protection from your neighbor, or Kook on the street either...

I am so sick of clearly disturbed people perpetrating these spectacular killings. I hate to say it, but my first thought was, "great, more ammo for the anti gun fanatics". Anyone here conversant with the gun laws in Ct? Is it a "may issue" or "must issue" state, or is CC banned entirely?

I don't know of the CT specifics, but the shooter was 20 years old. Fed law prohibits anyone under 21 from purchasing handguns. He reportedly used 2 handguns that belonged to his mother.

I'm not sure where you come up with your figures. Yes I buy and shoot more clay target ammo than I do hunting steel. I occasionally shoot some trap, skeet and three-stand and sporting clays. I shoot a 30-06 deer rifle, w/ scope. I zero it in once a year when I draw an elk or deer tag. I endevour to make one clean shot with a bolt action rifle. I do not need a semi to make a clean kill.
Tell me, Dustin? Can you say PTSD?

With this tragedy of today, the last thing we need is someone spreading misinformation.

Urban Legend, Fact Check and Snopes all report the same thing.

Darrell Scott's speech was covered nationally by the Scripps Howard and Associated Press wire services, not to mention in daily newspapers across the U.S., such as the Denver Rocky Mountain News, the St. Paul Pioneer Press, the Washington Times, the Boston Globe, the Arizona Republic, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Chicago Sun-Times ... well, you get the idea.

....

The parents of other victims testifying at the Sub-committee had much different opinions as to the reason for the murders including that this was more an issue about mental health then gun control. That many parents/ single parents are incapable of identifying or dealing with Personality Disorders such as Bipolar and other mental diseases affecting their teenagers.
